Remus Tavern

Remus Tavern anchors the corner at 118 W. Wheatland Ave in downtown Remus, and the walls make its identity clear: this is Mid-Michigan's best-known hockey sports bar, decorated with Red Wings memorabilia and autographed photos that regulars stop to point out. The kitchen runs deep on tavern classics, with a cowboy burger that carries just enough heat and a surf and turf plate that draws customers back on a near-monthly basis. Lake perch, lightly battered and fried, rounds out the seafood side of the menu. For groups, the Green Leaf Dining Room gives Remus Tavern a separate space to host golf outings, wedding parties, and other private events beyond the main bar. Remus Tavern was voted Mid-Michigan's Hockeytown by the Big Rapids Pioneer, a nod to the sports-bar reputation that's built up around it over the years. Locals treat it as a working lunch spot during the week and a game-day destination on weekends, and visitors passing through Remus on their way through Mecosta County will find a full bar and kitchen ready either way.
